Based on the acclaimed novel by E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime is a sweeping musical portrait of America at the turn of the 20th century. When optimism and possibility are as prevalent as burgeoning racial and social volatility. Ragtime weaves the lives of three distinct families - a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring African American musician from Harlem - into a uniquely American tapestry.
The passionate and vibrant Tony Award winning score will rouse and inspire audiences. Staged more than 100 years after the era it describes, Ragtime remains strikingly relevant. Especially now.
A triumphant must-see musical masterpiece, Ragtime will run from May 10-26, 2019 at the Throckmorton Theatre. Friday and Saturday performances; 7:30 p.m. Sunday performances; 2:30 p.m.
Featuring a full live 21-piece orchestra
